Abstract
<span>Surgical site infection (SSI) is a microbial infection of the surgical wound within 30 days of operation or one year after surgery if an implant is placed in a patient. The incidence level of postoperative orthopedic SSI range to 71%. An increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria causes the treatment of postoperative orthopedic surgical wound infections to be less effective, so there is an increase in morbidity, mortality, length of stay, and economic burden on hospital resources.</span><span lang="EN-ID">A</span><span lang="IN">ntibiogram</span><span lang="EN-ID"> were used to guide</span><span>the clinician and pharmacis</span><span lang="IN">t </span><span lang="EN-ID">selected</span><span>the best empiric antimicrobial treatment in the event of pending microbiology culture and susceptibility results</span><span lang="IN"> to overcome the disadvantages of antibotic-resistant bacteria</span><span>.</span><span> This study aimed to form a postoperative orthopedic SSI antibiogram of dr.

Of the 34 isolates, 25 were found to be positive for bacterial growth, while nine were negative. Twenty-two bacteria were Gram-negative and others were Gram-positive.

While, gram-positive bacteria showed sensitivity to doxycycline and resistant to erythromycin and penicillin.</span>
